First of all, the ISO has no secret agenda. We will tell anybody who cares to listen (or who bothers to ask us, which Mr. Pollack did not) that we believe decent, cheap, and extensive mass transportation should be a right for all working people in this city, and we’re willing to organize towards that end. Rather than latching on to a cause as Mr. Pollack accuses us of doing, we are actively fighting to stop the CTA cuts which will adversely impact so many Chicagoans’ lives.

Or is it that Mr. Pollack just doesn’t like the socialists? It is an old tactic of red-baiters, left over from the days of McCarthyism, to slander socialists and radicals by implying that we don’t really care about all these issues we spend so much of our lives fighting for. We are accused of latching onto a cause to seek “converts for the revolution.”
